Abstract
Peroxidase (POD) Nanozyme-based hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) detection is popular, but hardly adapt to high concentration of H2 O2 owing to narrow linear range (LR) and low LR maximum. Here, a solution of combining POD and catalase (CAT) is raised to expand the LR of H2 O2 assay via decomposing part of H2 O2 . As a proof of concept, a cascade enzyme system (rGRC) is constructed by integrating ruthenium nanoparticles (RuNPs), CAT and graphene together. The rGRC-based sensor does perform an expanded LR and higher LR maximum for H2 O2 detection. Meanwhile, it is confirmed that LR expansion is closely associated with apparent Km of rGRC, which is determined by the relative enzyme activity between CAT and POD both in theory and in experiment. At last, rGRC is successfully used to detect high concentration of H2 O2 (up to 10 mm) in contact lens care solution, which performs higher assay accuracy (close to 100% recovery at 10 mm of H2 O2 ) than traditional POD nanozymes. This study brings up a kind of POD/CAT cascade enzyme system and provides a new concept for accurate and facile H2 O2 detection. Additionally, it replenishes a new enzyme-substrate model of achieving the same pattern with competitive inhibition in enzyme reactions.

Abstract
Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial to monitor infection outcomes and provide timely interventions. However, gold standard polymerase chain reaction assays (PCR) are labor-intensive and require expensive reagents and instrumentation. Nuclease protection has been used for decades to detect and quantify nucleic acid but has not yet been investigated as a diagnostic tool for infectious disease. In this work, we describe a nuclease protection enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (NP-ELISA) for accurate and sensitive detection of nucleic acid. Briefly, binding of a nucleic acid target to an oligo probe protects it from digestion of un-hybridized nucleic acid by S1 nuclease. Following the workflow of an ELISA, a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated antibody binds the probe and oxidizes its substrate to generate signal. The assay was validated with three HRP substrates for absorbance, chemiluminescence, and electrochemical readouts, demonstrating great versatility. Electrochemical detection with 3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) gave the highest assay sensitivity with a limit of detection of 3.72×103 molecules mL-1. Furthermore, non-complementary targets did not generate a response, indicating a high degree of specificity. This proof of principle serves as a stepping stone towards developing miniaturized, multiplexed nuclease protection assays for point-of-care diagnosis.

Abstract
The mechanical activation (polishing) of screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) is explored and shown to exhibit an improved voltammetric response (in specific cases) when polished with either commonly available alumina slurry or diamond spray. Proof-of-concept is demonstrated for the electrochemical sensing of nitrite where an increase in the voltammetric current is found using both polishing protocols, exhibiting an improved limit of detection (3σ) and a two-fold increase in the electroanalytical sensitivity compared to the respective un-polished counterpart. It is found that mechanical activation/polishing increases the C/O ratio which significantly affects inner-sphere electrochemical probes only (whereas outer-sphere systems remain unaffected). Mechanical activation/polishing has the potential to be a simple pre-treatment technique that can be extended and routinely applied towards other analytes for an observable improvement in the electroanalytical response.

Abstract
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a wide group of diseases, characterized by synovial inflammation and joint tissue damage. Due to the delay in the implementation of biomarkers into clinical practice and the association with severe sequels, there is an imperative need for new JIA diagnosis strategies. Electrochemical biosensors based on screen-printed electrodes and peptides are promising alternatives for molecular diagnosis. In this work, a novel biosensor for detecting juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) was developed based on the immobilization of the PRF+1 mimetic peptide, as recognition biological element, on the surface of screen-printed carbon electrode. This biosensor was able to discriminate the JIA positive and negative serum samples from different individuals using differential pulse voltammetry, presenting limits of detection and quantification in diluted samples of 1:784 (v/v) and 1:235 (v/v), respectively. Evaluation by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed RCT 3 times higher for JIA positive sample than for a pool of human serum samples from healthy individuals. Surface analysis of the biosensor by atomic force microscopy, after contact with JIA positive serum, presented great globular clusters irregularly distributed. The long-term stability of the biosensor was evaluated, remaining functional for over 40 days of storage (after storage at 8°C). Therefore, a simple, miniaturized and selective biosensor was developed, being the first one based on mimetic peptide and screen-printed carbon electrode, aiming at the diagnosis of the juvenile idiopathic arthritis in real serum samples.
